[Samba] Samba on RHEL issue

[Shuaib Ilyas (shilyas)]

Hi,

 

I am trying to install samba on the RHEL. The installation completes but
after that I get the smbd dead message upon checking the status:

 

 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 share]# 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 share]# service smb status

smbd dead but pid file exists

nmbd (pid 8078) is running...

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 share]# 

 

 

The version of RHEL and samba are as follows:

 

 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]# cat  /etc/redhat-release

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]# 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]# 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]# 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]# yum install samba

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security

Setting up Install Process

Parsing package install arguments

Package samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5_3.1.i386 already installed and latest
version

Nothing to do

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]# 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]# 

[root at usps-dc1-pc12 samba]#

 

Any pointers to fix the issue will be helpful.

 

Thank you.
